WHY should you consider this workshop?

“To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished, is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of.”

This quote is from the Statistician R.A. Fisher, this workshop will assist with the research design in order to ensure that it is correctly applied.

Who should attend:

Everyone considering quantitative research including lecturers, students, as well as other quantitative researchers before data is gathered.

The goal of this workshop is to help prepare the student with the design of a research project to ensure that the research approach, research design, sampling and questionnaire is done in such a way that the research questions can be answered by conducting statistical analysis.
